Do I need to learn the Italian language on campus or can I start later for a Master's?

It depends on your master's program's language of instruction and university requirements.

- English-taught programs: Most Italian universities do not require you to know Italian before starting if your course is in English. However, some - like Politecnico di Milano - may require proof of Italian proficiency before you complete your degree.
- Italian-taught programs: You usually need to demonstrate Italian language proficiency before admission, often through a test or certification.

Check your specific university and program's language requirements. If Italian is required, plan to start learning before you arrive or early in your studies. For guidance on meeting these requirements, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
